I just finished building my new pc.
My specs are:
Ryzen 9 3900X
EVGA GeForce RTX 3070
32 GB G.SKILL ZTrident Z 3600 MHz RAM
NZXT Kraken X53

As soon as I booted my computer, I noticed that it was already idling 60 Degrees celsius. All of my fans work, the airflow is great, all going one direction, and my pump appears to be working. In my bios, it says my AIO pump is running between 800-900 RPM, and all my case fans and my radiator fans are running 1200-1500 rpm. I also applied thermal paste, roughly the size of a pea, which is what a lot of people recommend, and it spread evenly. I'm pretty sure I installed and applied everything correctly, yet my CPU is running very high temps. Does anybody know what the problem could be? Possibly a faulty AIO Pump?

Still high temps. If you're comfortable adjusting, you can turn down the voltage. They tend to run too high, get too hot too fast, and thermal throttle. Stock Cinebench would hit 95c on the stock cooler, stock settings with my 3900x. Turned down voltage to 1.25v, all cores to 4250, runs at 40c idle and 70c if all 24 cores are rendering along side 2 gpus in the cases as well, all air cooling and the wraith cooler. It's not a bad chip, just too hot with stock voltage and auto overclocking that hits like 4.6ghz for 1s on 1 core. meh, bit of tweaking and I don't need a 11lb pound hunk of metal to cool it. lol.

1)That pump rpm is low. It should be higher than that. I assume you have the hybrid cooler running in quiet mode, or something?
I'd say that's a typical result.
You might want to go in CAM and raise that pump rpm. 90-100% is good.

2)That paste application is effective on cpus with single die designs. Ryzen 3900X does not fall in that category.
The thin, yet full spread, or the 5 dot method, are more effective here.

3)There really isn't a problem here, unless the cpu is running 85C or higher under full load.
Ryzen 3000-5000 are notorious for high idle spikes, but not to the point of being dangerous. Far from it; it's a 'side effect' of its design.
A hybrid cooler isn't going to magically stop those spikes.

Ok, thank you for the help, I will try to fix these.

So this is weird lol, my bios settings and my CAM settings are showing different stats. In my bios, it shows that my CPU Temp is at 60 degrees celsius, and that my Pump RPM is is around 800, but when I check my CAM settings, it shows that my cpu fluctuates between 45-55 degrees, and that my pump is running 2000-2500 RPM. Would you by chance know which one is more accurate?

My single dot in the middle method managed to cover the entire 3900X evenly.

They both are.
Ugh, bloody CAM...

Bios is a slightly higher load Vs idle desktop, but the under 1000 pump rpm is contributing to this... it's not like you just sit around in bios now, right?
It's not a big deal.

Yeah lol, thats what i was thinking, that for osame reason my pump isnt at 100% utilization in bios, making my temps to go higher. Well thank you everybody for your help. This whole temp thing has been stressing me out lol

My CPU is AI overclocked at around 4300 MHz, should I still lower my voltage?

Oh geez! What do you mean, it broke?

Did you clear CMOS? If you don't know how:
-power off the PC
-switch off the psu, then unplug it
-open the PC and remove the coin shaped battery
-press and hold the chassis power switch for 15 seconds and then wait 5 mins
-put everything back and power on

lol im just kidding, it worked perfectly fine, i lowered the voltage by .5 and my temp went down 10 degress. sorry i freaked you out lol,, thanks for the help once again!
